The government of The Maldives will ban Israelis from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for its luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza. The president’s office said on June 2 that the Cabinet decided to change laws to prevent Israeli passport holders from entering the country and to establish a subcommittee to oversee the process. It said President Mohamed Muizzu will appoint a special envoy to assess the needs of the Palestinians, and to launch a fundraising campaign called “Maldivians in Solidarity with Palestine.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein said in response that the Foreign Ministry recommends Israelis avoid any travel to The Maldives, including those with foreign passports, and for those currently there to consider leaving. Nearly 11,000 Israelis visited The Maldives last year, which was 0.6% of the total tourist arrivals.
